The Motor Grader EV is an interesting concept. The big questions are how long can it operate before needing to be recharged, and how long does recharging take? Yes, an ICE grader also needs to be refueled periodically, but refueling only takes as long as it is required to refill the fuel tank.
The ACCO sat since mid 80s and could not be repaired to running order. says a lot about European equipment. I’ve seen CAT equipment built in the 50s and 60s still running along with others ( Dresser, Deere, Cedarapids, Manitoac and other American companies).
Many many moons ago when I was learning how to heavy haul, we moved a champion grader… it was definitely a close second to that cat. It was huge and was a all day event to move it. And they actually used it. I believe it was 100-T wish I could attach some pictures… Might ev data:text/mce-internal,Aaa en be one with me running next to the grader flagging traffic when I had hair
Like most young Boys...I had a number of Tonka trucks, graters, front end loaders, Dump Trucks, etc!! My friends & would gather in a vacant lot and make all these complex roads & bridges! The dirt, rocks, litter, sticks..what ever we could get our hands on! That was some great fun! There were even a few Girls who.would join us!! Even some of the most "Girly-Girls" would rather play with Cars, Trucks, Planes & stuff rather than Dolls!
